Well it’s hardly come as a surprise to hear that several papers (both sides of the Atlantic) are reporting that, as part of the American fight for the White House, Sen. John McCain is working with a presentations coach to try and sort things out. (See The Telegraph for an example story.)
Given how good Obama is, McCain is obviously in trouble when it comes to the bigger, set-piece presentations and – although it doesn’t automatically mean he wouldn’t be as good a President – it does mean it’s less likely he’ll get the chance.
It’s something I blogged about before but it’s nice to know that McCain has finally caught up with what’s been obvious to the rest of us for a very long time. Perhaps not making speaches as well as his opponent doesn’t mean he wouldn’t be a good President, but there’s a bit of me that thinks “if he’s taken this long to spot the obvious, perhaps that means he wouldn’t be a good President…..” :)
I would personally love to thank you for time you’ve taken in producing this blog post.
